Hardback. Condizione: Good. Originating with Boccaccio during the Italian Renaissance, the novella, a cyclical collection of frame stories in prose, quickly inspired many imitations in Italy, France, Spain and Great Britain. However, it was not widely used in Germany until the end of the eighteenth century, when, inspired by Goethe, the genre retained the original medium but abandoned the cyclical format; after this, it rapidly grew in popularity, dominating the nineteenth century literary scene, and became the object of much artistic and critical speculation. The orthodox theory of the novella, formulated by Goethe, Tieck, and Heyse in the previous century, has sharply divided the critical establishment; defended in modern times by such scholars as McBurney Mitchell, Hermann Pongs, Johannes Klein, Martin Swales, and Henry Remak, it has been sharply attacked by others, including Oskar Walzel, Harry Steinhauer, John Ellis, and Karl Konrad Pohlheim. The axiomatic assumption that the novella form exists as an independent, identifiable genre has been undermined to such an extent that one school of thought declares there to be no such genre. The German Novella: Two Centuries of Criticism is the only work in English or German that illuminates the main currents of theory formation, evaluation, and revaluation from its inception with Wieland to the present, tracing a path through the huge amount of critical material devoted to the novella. SIEGFRIED WEING (April 8, 1942-October 10, 2004) was professor of German language and literature at the Virginia Military Institute for 36 years.…

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. Niccolo Machiavelli, one of the eminent minds of the Italian Renaissance, spent much of a long and active lifetime trying to determine and understand what exceptional qualities of human character-- and what surrounding elements of fortune, luck, and timing-- made great men great leaders successful in war and peace. In perhaps the liveliest book on Machiavelli in years, Michael A. Ledeen measures contemporary movers and doers against the timeless standards established by the great Renaissance writer. Titans of statecraft (Margaret Thatcher, Francois Mitterrand, Pope John Paul I, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton); business and finance (Bill Gates); Wall Street and investing (Warren Buffett); the military (Colin Powell), and sports (Michael Jordan) are judged by Machiavelli's precepts on leadership and the proper use of power. The result is a wide-ranging and scintillating study that illuminates the thoughts of the Renaissance master and the actions of today's truly towering figures as well as the character-challenged pretenders to greatness. Here is an exceptional book on Machiavelli and his ultra-realistic exploration of human nature-- then and now.…
